The Punisher: One Last Kill, a TV special starring Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle, premiered on Disney Plus in the UK on May 13. The 50-minute episode follows Castle as he searches for meaning beyond revenge but is pulled back into conflict. The special ends with Castle embracing his role as the Punisher, taking down a former gangster, while antagonist Ma Gnucci escapes, hinting at a potential future storyline.
Daredevil showrunner Dario Scardapane has stated that One Last Kill takes place after the original Punisher series and before or during the events of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2. The Punisher is also set to appear in the upcoming Spider-Man film Brand New Day, though details remain secret.
Disney Plus has not confirmed a full revival of the Punisher series, which ended on Netflix in 2019. The decision likely depends on viewing figures for One Last Kill. Fans have responded positively, with one Reddit user praising Bernthal's emotional performance and the brutal action, while another expressed eagerness for more content.
